Life is just a series of moments. Fill those moments with distractions from the inevitable, distractions like good music: enter good music:

Standard leftist bullshit. The problem is not scarcity of resources, or inability to share. It's a fundamental lack of understanding of ethics, which includes property rights and individual rights, and rational thinking. Which, ironically, this song is shitting all over, with it's appeal to religious mythology. > Angels on the sideline, > Baffled and confused. > Father blessed them all with reason. > And this is what they choose. > And this is what they choose... No, reason is not some "blessing" or "gift". It's a hard-earned skill. Which is sorely lacking in the majority of the population. > Monkey killing monkey killing monkey > Over pieces of the ground. Wrong. This is a gross over-simplification and misunderstanding of human conflict. Again, it's roots are irrational beliefs, not scarce resources. Nazis didn't kill Jews to acquire scarce resources. Ross Ulbricht is not being caged because of scarce resources. > Silly monkeys give them thumbs, > They forge a blade, How the fuck is a hunting weapon, and a tool for self defense, and a myriad other things, "silly"?? > And where there's one > they're bound to divide it, > Right in two. > Right in two. > > Monkey killing monkey killing monkey. > Over pieces of the ground. > Silly monkeys give them thumbs. > They make a club. > And beat their brother, down. > How they survive so misguided is a mystery. Maybe the dude should study a bit more evolutionary biology (evolutionarily stable populations/ecosystems) and economics, instead of making dumb monotonous music :P, and things would be a bit less mysterious. > Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability > to live to light a heaven conscious of his fleeting time here. I guess. Not sure what he means by "squander" though.
